    I believe HP has a whole suite of software to support VMware, MS Virtual Server and even Xen :

    I'm sure IBM touts something similar. Sun will of course steer you toward "containers" on Solaris.

    Maybe Dell should wait until THEY enter the realm of Tier 1 server vendors before they make such statements.....
